Patent NZ-598823-A (NZ)
Title: Micro-bubble generator and micro-bubble generation device
Inventor: HATO YOKO
IPC: A01G31/00
Filed: 2010-10-04
Abstract: 598823 A micro-bubble generator (1) for generating bubbles having a bubble diameter in the order of nanometres is disclosed. The micro-bubble generator is provided with a swirl chamber (3), a fluid introduction opening which is connected to the swirl chamber and introduces fluid along a line (4) tangent to the inner surface of the swirl chamber, and a discharge tube (9) which guides the fluid in the direction substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the fluid is introduced. The discharge tube penetrates through the wall surface of the swirl chamber and protrudes to the inside of the swirl chamber. The configuration isolates the path of the introduced fluid, and this can reduce a loss of the kinetic energy of the swirl flow of the fluid. As a result, the sizes of the generated micro-bubbles can be reduced.

Title: Pressure balanced valve with diaphragm valve member end seal
Inventor: NEFF ROBERT H
IPC: F16K17/34
Filed: 2011-09-07
Abstract: A diaphragm (82’, 184) sealed, pressure balanced valve assembly (160) includes a valve body and a cartridge connected to the valve body. The cartridge includes a cartridge loading end having a retaining member (80’) engaged to the cartridge loading end. A valve member slides coaxial to a longitudinal axis (64) of the valve body. A resilient material first diaphragm (82’) is connected to and extends diametrically outward from the valve member having a diaphragm body clasped between the retaining member (80’) and the cartridge loading end, creating a first diaphragm fluid pressure boundary. A resilient material second diaphragm (184) is connected to and extends diametrically outward from the valve member at an opposite end of the valve member with respect to the first diaphragm and has a diaphragm body clasped between first and second adjustable retention members (186, 188), creating a second diaphragm fluid pressure boundary. The valve operates between a closed position where the inlet and outlet are fluidly isolated, and the outlet and exhaust are in fluid communication (as shown), and an open position where the inlet and outlet are in fluid communication, and the outlet and exhaust are fluidly isolated. The diaphragm(s) may elastically deform from the closed position to the open position creating a biasing force urging the valve towards the closed position. When the solenoid is deactivated this biasing force reduces the time it takes for the valve to transition to the valve closed position.
